Beyond War

Beyond War: Reimagining American Influence in a New Middle East, by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Rohde, examines over a decade of reporting on U.S. efforts in the Middle East. The book critiques Washington's focus on military spending while overlooking diplomacy, trade, and technology, and explores the hopes of countries like Tunisia, Turkey, and Egypt for American engagement. Rohde emphasizes the importance of Muslim moderates in addressing militancy and offers insights into how the U.S. can reshape its approach in the region.
